You still have to generate the electricity used to power the
microwave source. I suggest combusting unpopped popcorn
kernels. |
|
| |
Bussard's fusion reactor he was last working on was a microwave generator. |
|
| |
There is a published peer reviewed paper on the EmDrive. |
|

What good are those House of Lords lot? They'll review anything. |
|
| |
Traci Lords ? Oh, and the link is not about her... |
|
| |
//Traci Lords ?//
Nono, _House_ of Lords - a haircutting franchise. |
|
| |
Admittedly, getting a former porn star to show up at the door bearing food is certainly meritorious. |
|
| |
If knew what tracing lords was like, does it involve brown paper and crayons? |
|
| |
I think you'll get more energy by venting the steam to a turbine. |
|
| |
Are you quite sure you don't mean "meretricious" ? |
|

Gosh, "After months of speculation and leaked documents, NASA's long-awaited EM Drive paper has finally been peer-reviewed and published. And it shows that the 'impossible' propulsion system really does appear to work.". |
|
| |
We can finally deport the Borg on the cheap. |
|
| |
You'd miss us if we were gone ... |
|
| |
Besides, our warp drive is somewhat superior to your laughable little E-M pusher ... go ahead, get on your push-bike and chase that SR-71, see where it gets you .... |
|
| |
//get on your push-bike and chase that SR-71 |
|
| |
"...NASA's DFRC at Edwards AFB, CA flew the SR-71 from 1991 until its final flight in October 1999." |
|
| |
Pursuing a stationery object is something that can be done in a leisurely manner. |
|
| |
I claim at least 0.00000678% of the Emdrive royalties for my PR contribution to project. |

Is is actually possible to build a wall around space? |
|
| |
Yes, but it wouldn't help. Remember, we have transporter technology. |
|
| |
You'd need an adaptive deflector shield, and on a planetary scale that needs a lot of energy. |
|
| |
But, it would be kind of fun, and keep brickies in work ifor quite a while. Consider it a mini-Dyson sphere, built in brick. |
|
| |
Not sure where the guttering should be attached, on the inside or the outside? At least outside it wouldn't keep getting blocked by leaves. |
|
| |
Outside, definitely. And get some of those plastic covers for the drains, to stop them clogging. |
|
| |
I can't help thinking (re. [nmrm]'s link) that if you had ten megawatts of power, you *ought* to be able to generate more than one Newton of thrust. But yes, very clever, no reaction mass. |
